1，四级听力之不变：长对话/篇章听力

原来的长对话（long conversation）和篇章听力（passage）从题型长度难度上都是没有变化的，所以大家正常备考就可以。但要注意的是分值的变化。长队话由原来的7题变成的8题，分值依然是1分/题。而篇章听力却变成的2分/题（原来1分/题）。对于篇章听力容易走神，考点把握不住，音义形无法对应的同学是个很大的挑战。

2，四级听力之变化：短对话变新闻；取消短文听写

原Section A中的短对话（Short conversation）变成了短篇新闻（news report）。共3段新闻，每段新闻后有2-3小题，只读一遍。下面我们来解析一下最新样题：

Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.

1. A) Christmas-time attacks made by Somali rebels.

B) An explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi.

C) The killing of more than 70 Ugandans in Kampala.

D) Blasts set off by a Somali group in Uganda’s capital.

2. A) On Christmas Eve. C) During a security check.

B) Just before midnight. D) In the small hours of the morning.

解：通过选项中的关键词attack, Somali rebels, explosion, killing, blast

我们可以预测这是一篇关于爆炸袭击的新闻。第一题是爆炸事件地点，

伤亡等信息的描述，第二题考时间。

原文：Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.

The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.

1. What is the news report mainly about?

2. When did the incident occur?

解：两道题都是细节题，并且没有干扰项。新闻第一句“Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi.”可以确定答案B。“Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check.”爆炸发生在安检时，答案C。

Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.

3. A) It is likely to close many of its stores.

B) It is known for the quality of its goods.

C) It remains competitive in the recession.

D) It will expand its online retail business.

4. A) Expand its business beyond groceries.

B) Fire 25,000 of its current employees.

C) Cut its DVD publishing business.

D) Sell the business for one pound.

解：选项关键词close, store, quality, goods, competitive, recession, expand可以预测出和公司发展或经营情况有关。

原文：Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token ￡1 failed.

The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years. Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.

Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.

3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?

4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?

解：“Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token ￡1 failed.”对应第3题的A选项，第4题的D选项。但错误选项的部分信息也有被读到，例如：DVD publishing business, 25000 employee等，考生需要注意区分。

Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.

5. A) All taxis began to use meters.

B) All taxis got air conditioning.

C) Advertisements were allowed on taxis.

D) Old taxis were replaced with new cabs.

6. A) A low interest loan scheme.

B) Environmentalists’ protest s.

C) Taxi passengers’ complaints.

D) Permission for car advertising.

7. A) There are no more irregular practices.

B) All new cabs provide air-conditioning.

C) New cabs are all equipped with meters.

D) New legislation protects consumer rights.

解：选项中taxi, cab判断和出租车有关，具体关于出租车计费器，空调，广告等问题。

原文：Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.

After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.

The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can n ow travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.

5. What change took place in Cairo recently?

6. What helped bring about the change?

7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?

解：“That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis.”本句removal和同义替换第5题的replace，答案选A；

“…a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars.” 第6题细节题，选A。

“they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares.”标志词“because”+细节答案，词、选C.

3、四级听力小结

短篇新闻的无论从音频长度，词汇难度都要大大超越之前的短对话。此题对考生的预测，替换，细节听力，注意力的集中都有更高的要求。

Much controversy has been aroused about whether the students should find a job or start their own business after graduation.Taking a look around,we can find that some graduates bustle around job markets,while others choose to run a shop on TMall. However, I prefer the former choice. From my perspective, there are good reasons to find a job in the first several years after their graduation.First and foremost, if a graduate intends to accumulate working experience and learn from the seniors, it is advisable for him to find a job. It is an undeniable fact that the theoretical knowledge will provide the graduates with the ability to consider things comprehensively,however,only under the integration with practice can the rigid knowledge be useful for their future development. Inevitably, doing something small is the premise of undertaking something great. Take Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and taobao, for example. He also finds some jobs before establishing his own career,laying a solid foundation for his later success. Consequently,it is of great necessity to find a job after graduation.I firmly believe that it will continue to bring about more returns to our life and future.
